Eclipse season is here and with it there are many celestial events happening and going to a climax in the next few months. many of these events are bringing up issues in our life that need to be worked on to clear unwanted patterns and to begin new cycles. while I was writing this post, a 5.5 m earthquake occurred in the Mediterranean sea and was felt in Israel. no doubt that the eclipses energy is building up and in general all events are being empowered by it, good or bad.
In the last few months we had a Perigee Moon, which means the Moon was closer to earth on his orbit. this is also another factor that is emphasizing the process of the Eclipses and affecting us very strongly.
The Mutable signs axis is emphasized too now, with Neptune and Chiron in Pisces, Mars in Virgo, Venus retrograde in Gemini and the Eclipses happening in Gemini and Sagittarius. this axis is about being open to life’s versatility but without loosing our inner knowledge and truth. also learning to trust life and to trust ourselves to know what we need to know, and understand that we can read books all day, but without actually assimilating this to our system, we are not really present. we also have issues of knowledge, believe systems, cultures and different ideas with this axis, and now is a time to let go of our self righteousness and/or old believes and to open up to a higher knowledge coming down to us.
The Solar Eclipse on May 20/21 (depends on your time zone) will be in 0 degrees Gemini and square Neptune. we can reconnect with old knowledge about the way the universe is working, we can experience events that can have a huge affect on the masses and can develop to natural disasters. another possibility is that knowledge that will be discovered can help humanity in the collective processes. one thing that already happened is the discovery of an ancient Mayan calendar that is basically saying to us that we continue with our journey, and the end of the world is apparently not so near as we thought…but still humanity is in the threshold of a new cycle.
Personally we want to pay more attention to our words and the way we communicate, what we say and how we say it, and in general to work on the balance of the fifth chakra that is energetically affecting our inner truth and authenticity.
In addition, the Solar eclipse will conjunct the Pleiades and their main star Alcyone, that moved to 0 deg. Gemini too.
Alcyone is related to grief and sorrow but to higher cosmic knowledge too, and it gives another dimension to the Gemini information. we can be connected to the Cosmic library that holds the collective GPS and maybe there will be more discovery’s related to culture’s, languages etc.
The Sabian symbol of the Solar eclipse degree is:
GLASS-BOTTOMED BOAT DRIFTS OVER UNDER-SEA WONDERS
“Depth of realization in a consciousness constantly in touch with the sources of life. “Sensitiveness to collective images.” (Dane Rudhyar)
When we are connected to the source of life, to the energy of creation, and understand that this energy is not outside but inside us, we can have deeper understandings about life and our existence. the glass-bottomed boat is taking us to a journey that can revel life’s treasures to us.
The Lunar eclipse will happen in June 4 and is closing a cycle with the one we had in December 2011. both of the eclipses square Mars in Virgo, because of Mars’s retrograde in Virgo in between the two eclipses. so now we can look at the events in the last 6 months with a more mature approach that can help us work on what we need. many things that started in the previous lunar eclipse can come to an end. In the global level we can again have events that involve inter cultural issues, religions, believe systems etc. we can look at what is happening in Greece for example, with the rise of the Neo-Nazi party. In Israel we had a whole thing going on with the religious people against Women sitting in the front sites of buses, not allowing Women to sing in public event etc. Mars can also bring more violence, protests and in general fighting for something.
The Sabian symbol for the Lunar Eclipse is:
TWO DUTCH CHILDREN ARE STUDYING THEM LESSONS TOGETHER
“Conscious approach to spiritual truth and underlying meanings. Open-mindedness. Clarity of thought along traditional lines”. (Dane Rudhyar)
Here we have the opportunity to work together with others in the search and study of Universal truth, which unites us and doesn’t distinguish between race, religion, color and sex. we can bring different idea’s and approaches together and find what is common for all.
A rare Venus transit will occur 2 days after the Lunar eclipse on June 5/6 at 15 degrees Gemini. this eclipse happens twice in 120 years with 8 years between the two eclipses. the first one was in June 8 2004 in Gemini too.
The eclipse is going to be when the Sun and Venus will meet, and Venus will become invisible and continue her retrograde movement. the encounter with the Sun can bring accelerated processes in our relationships and partnerships also with our enemies or anyone in the opposite side. it can be a good time to end cycles with other people and begin new ones. also the world economy and also your private bank account can be highly influenced, so the material world is very fluid at the moment.
The Sabian symbol of the Venus Eclipse degree is:
WOMAN AGITATOR MAKES AN IMPASSIONED PLEA TO A CROWD
Rising of the human soul in demand for the recognition by the outer nature of the needs of inner being. Self-assertion. (Dane Rudhyar).
Venus is indeed talking about the needs of our inner being and we can work with this symbol on the qualification of our inner being, and by qualifying it to ourselves, we can make it happen in our contact with others.
The evolutionary lessons for the time of the eclipses are to have more patience and tolerance to other people’s believes and opinions, but still stay with our inner truth and trust our intuition. because both Neptune and Chiron are part of the eclipses, things can completely go out of our control and out of proportions, and we need to really be devoted to the larger process. no secrets can be kept, the truth will be out there, whether we feel comfortable with it or not. on the positive side there can be collective healing energy, and it’s a good time to use these energetic gates and to pray togather for Peace, meditate and empower ourselves and others.
